While shops promise they do not collect personally identifiable information, randomizing the MAC address broadcast to WiFi will make sure of it.

==Pick of the day==
*[http://www.pcper.com/hwlb PC Perspective’s Hardware Leaderboard]
::Andy Welch has our pick of the day: “For building a desktop, I’d like to recommend PC Perspective’s Hardware Leaderboard as a very useful reference. I don’t have time (or interest) in keeping up with the latest in pc hardware, but when I need a new desktop pc every few years, this is a great spot that I go to. They update it monthly to provide an updated list of major components based on current prices and technology. They show 4 different builds from about $500 low end, $1000, $1300, and $3000 top end. I’ve used it myself and recommend it to others all the time.”
